A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You don't die during interrogation with regular breaks for food, water, sleep etc. You die during torture
I guess that it was an unknown prior medical condition. /s
So sad, Hamas using his life force as a hidden base. They truly know no shame!
Iran would be proud
Correct. It's clearly either torture or just aimless abuse.
In fact, people die all the time during every concievable activity without regard to breaks.
Most moral army in the world systematically torturing doctors to death.
Dude that's like blaming the U.S army for snowden.
The IDF and the Shin Bet are totally different entities
The IDF kidnaps people and delivers them to Shin Bet...
Shin Bet tries to torture false confessions out of the doctors that there is a Hamas base underneath a hospital. And frequently tortures their hostages to death...
So the most moral army is systematically giving their hostages to people which they know will torture them to death....
If they know the Shin Bet does this they are complicit in it. Outsourcing the blame does not work.
Put it on the list for the ICC. This was not an "Interrogation".
After Rantisi’s death, “the Ashkelon Magistrate’s Court issued a six-month gag order prohibiting publication of all details of the case, including the existence of the gag order. The court order expired in May,” Haaretz reported.
The whole fucking system is screwed. Jfc.
Not suspicious at all /s
Only democracy in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen.
I am so sick of these passive article titles. He was tortured to death. He was tortured and murdered. Call it what it is.
Same.
It seems as childish as toddlers having broken something by throwing it forcefully on the floor and then pretending that they don't understand why the thing broke.
I think they use passive headlines over concern about being sued for libel, but I agree. They really need to call the bluff, because if a party sues for libel, that party has to prove it's a willful lie. And that would be a very interesting discovery process.
So he was tortured to death by the Israelis. He didn't just "die" like that. He was tortured to death. Call it for what it is
Prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi, was tortured to death by Israel
This is so, so fucked up.
It's hard to grieve effectively in the face of so many tragedies. Here is another one.
Horrible.
Just want to add another source here from an Israeli news source (Hareetz) also reporting all the major points from the above article.
https://archive.is/IZNtf https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-06-18/ty-article/.premium/israel-arrested-a-senior-doctor-in-gaza-six-days-later-he-died-in-a-shin-bet-facility/00000190-27eb-d14b-a999-27eb9aea0000
Probably not a surprise, but the suspicious uninvestigated deaths don't end there.
This is totally normal. People die under interrogation all the time in oppressive authoritarian countries. I don't know why Iran and Israel are fighting when they have so much in common.
Another victim of the Apartheid brutality
Palestinians denied civil rights (HRW) including Military Court (B'TSelem)
Palestinian Prisoners in Israel including Child abuse - Save The Children
Torture and Abuse in Interrogations - B'TSelem
Thousands of Palestinians are held without charge under Israeli detention policy - NPR
Very sad to see him go out this way.
I got no horse in this race because I'm from Mexico and the USA, well maybe I got a pony since you'd have to drag me back to Mexico. But I digress.... let me correct the tit-Le. It should be "prominent Palestinian doctor, Iyad Rantisi (sounds like he really liked rants like me), was murdered while in custody by the Israeli army as they tortured him in a fake interrogation mostly a thinly veiled murder made to look like an interrogation. It's a long title but it gets the message across.
I mean, if the words "Israel" and "interrogation" are in it, it pretty clearly conveys what you just described.
Yeah he was absolutely tortured to death. Fucking disgusting.
And the White House is baffled by Netanyahu's claim about not supplying enough weapons to Israel. Is torture allowed under the Geneva Conventions?
Israel really thinks they're going to get away with this kind of shit huh? No wonder Netanyahu is so mad about his Amazon packages
They're getting away with it so far.
Yes and no. They've since lost global support for their actions; in an unprecedented move they are now being closely investigated for war crimes in a state of the world where such courts want to maintain impartiality to sustain their verdicts against Russia in Ukraine. To me it seems pretty clear that the Biden administration wants nothing to do with Israel but is only willing to follow the polls of public sentiment as opposed to take an aggressive stance ahead of where the public is at.
In this respect, Hamas succeeded. Israel over-stepped and committed the equivalent of 30, 40, perhaps 50+ October 7ths. The widespread recognition that Israel is a far-right nationalist government and Bibi is trying to desperately cling to power and avoid conviction in ongoing criminal trials domestically will, hopefully, have serious repercussions in the long-term. Domestically, Israelis may also slowly be coming to the realization that their Democracy isn't so Democratic.
Both Netanyahu and Putin are closely watching, and actively trying to influence, these US elections.
Well His government has been getting away with it for a long long time. They're quite used to it.
They will because they're backed by the US.
They have been getting away with worse for decades.
